I did not yet recieve a reply to my question bellow.
I wonder: Does Java2D and ImageIO work on Unix without an X Server
installed, e.g. in a server environment or on OS X? If so: How do I
need to compile?
And what is the situation on Windows?
I read somewhere that ImageIO by default is based on ImageMagick. Is
this mature, does it work well?
I hope someone can answer these questions or point me to another list
where I can find out more.
BTW: I'm using classpath together with GCJ.

I was reading about the Java2D rewrite and was wondering if there
is more information about this available now.

I assume this is the work on the new CairoGraphics2D. Will this
support headless mode? Will it still rely on Gtk, or be seperated
from it? At the moment my gcj setup on OS X does not seem to
support the java.awt.headless=true switch (gcj 4.1.1, classpath 0.20).
For the use in server environments, classpath should support Java2D
in headless mode, without relying on any Gtk libraries, just Cairo.
Is this planed?
